about

i wrote the lyrics for this in a half hour. the music presented itself immediately. it's just that organic. sadly.

recorded live in an auditorium in front of about 4 people who were there to crew and made a wonderful audience.

lyrics

beautiful crazy girl
seems too fragile for this earth
beautiful crazy boy
been busted up since birth
tough as nails
she tears apart her mind
torn up sails
he's always right behind

should've been perfect
should've been beautiful as they
should've been lovely
should've been didn't turn out that way

take another breath, dive back in
come up for air
face a blank stare
stand on the sides
criticize
shall we do the dance again?

beautiful crazy girl
always running for her lives
beautiful crazy boy
always sharpening his knives
grasping and holding on
doesn't matter right or wrong
grasping and holding on
always must stay strong

could've been perfect
could've been beautiful as they
could've been lovely
could've been didn't turn out that way

take another breath, dive back in
come up for air
face a blank stare
stand on the sides
criticize
shall we do the dance again?

beautiful crazy girl
wondering where she is
beautiful crazy boy
claiming what's not his
